<p>You don't need to drift around in the 'oh so spiritual' clothes, don't need to use all of the 'oh so spiritual' Indian words, don't need to pretend to be 'oh so spiritual' because it is all a total crock. All just a red herring which is simply a trick of the Self that is distracting you from being true. </p>
<p><br />None of that has anything whatsoever to do with being true. It is all just talk and pretence only, and talk never truly saved anyone. Talk just brings more talk and never moves from the prison of the mind. </p>
<p><br />So there won't be any flashes of light shooting out of your third eye, no special energy pumping through the body and definitely no visits from the angels and gods to invite you into the special throne room which has been created just for you. </p>
<p><br />Sorry to fizzle out your mindful projections of what will occur when this 'spiritual enlightenment' descends on you.<br />Sorry to interrupt your version of the words of wisdom, which have been twisted into unrecognizable creations.<br />Sorry to cut short the claptrap. </p>
<p><br />Oh, okay not sorry. </p>
<p><br />It is all rubbish. You already are.</p><div class="field field-type-text field-field-quote-source">

<p>Many teachers will tell you to believe; then they put out your eyes of <br /> reason and instruct you to follow only their logic. But I want you <br /> to keep your eyes of reason open; in addition, I will open in you <br /> another eye, the eye of wisdom.<br /></p><div class="field field-type-text field-field-quote-source">

<p>"Already from earliest childhood it was my deepest wish to understand nature and through this to come closer to the truth I could not find at <u>school </u>or at <u>church</u>. I was repeatedly drawn to the forest where I could watch the flow of water for hours on end without getting tired or irritable. At that time I did not yet know that water is the bearer of life or the source of what we call consciousness. Totally oblivious, I let water flow past my searching eyes and only years later did I become aware that this running water attracts our consciousness magnetically, takes a piece with it, with a force that is so strong that one loses consciousness for a while and involuntarily falls into a deep sleep. And so, gradually I began to play with these forces in water and I gave up this so-called free consciousness and left it to the water for a while. Little by little this game turned into a very serious matter because I saw that it was possible to release my own consciousness from my body and attach it to the water. When I took it back again, the consciousness borrowed from the water told me things that were often very strange. And so the searcher became a researcher who could send his consciousness on expeditions, so to speak, and this way I found out about things the rest of mankind has missed because they do not know that people are able to send their free consciousness everywhere, even where the seeing eye cannot look. This so-called sight practiced with blindfolded eyes finally gave me ties to the secrets of nature which I slowly began to recognize and understand in their own fabric. And in due course it became clear to me that we human beings are used to seeing everything backwards and wrong. The biggest surprise, however, was that we human beings let the most valuable part drain off as useless and from all the great intellectuality that flows through us, we retain only the feces."</p><div class="field field-type-text field-field-contrib-user">
